Getting my own way

2 I have no idea how to . . .

Iron or fold shirts.

3 I wouldn’t watch . . .

The film The Notebook, despite pressure from my girlfriend.

4 I can’t believe that . . .

I let Fergus McFadden finish ahead of me in Fantasy Football.

5 I would like to . . .

Be a food critic. Seriously.

6 I would avoid . . .

Rollerblading on the pier. I don’t have the legs for it or the co-ordination.

How people liked the film Avatar. I find myself getting into arguments about it.

Food and music.

9 The book I would like to read . . .

Lance Armstrong’s autobiography.

10 My last meal . . .

The tasting menu in Thornton’s, the best meal I have ever had. I can still recall the taste of the scrambled egg with shaved truffles, presented in an eggshell with buttered toast soldiers.
